Can I delete incremental backups on my harddisks?

I use a mac pro with four internal hard drives. Typically one of the hard drives is JUST for backing up files.
A. I don't really need dated or incrementals
B. I only use that drive as a backup
C. Currently, I have one full back up and one months worth of incremental backups already saved to the drive.
But I'm noticing that (obviously) Backup is eating away at the free space on that drive.
Questions:
1. Can I delete older increments?
2. Can I restore directly from the Full backup and just disregard the increments altogether?

my apologies. This was posted to the wrong forum.

  • I don't have very much space left on my iCloud backup. I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone?

    I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone? or does it just delete from iCloud? or does it just delete from the phone? Someone please help!

    You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices

  • Can I delete old backups from other devices if my new iphone 6 has a current backup with everything on my new phone?

    Can I delete old backups from other devices if my new iphone 6 has a current backup with everything on my new phone?

    Hi there dyarrell,
    You can do this if you are confident that your current device has all of the data on it that you want to keep. The method for deleting the backup will be differnt depending on the backup method. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • HT3275 How can I delete a backup of one of my computers from a shared time capsule?

    Hello,
    I have a Time Capsule which is used for backup with Time Capsule by two Macs.
    One of the Macs is currently offline and I want to delete it's backup manually from the Time Capsule.
    This operation takes very long and my impression is, it can not be completed.
    How can I delete the backup which is obsolete to free disk space on the Time Capsule?
    Kind Regards
    Ralph

    The fastest, simplest, and most reliable solution would be to erase the Time Capsule disk. That will only take a few minutes, but you will erase the backups of both Macs when you do this. If you don't mind starting over again on the "other" Mac, that would be the way to go.
    Few of us ever need the backups, especially backups from months and maybe years back, but I understand that it is not easy to think about erasing them and starting over with new backups.
    Deleting an individual backup will take a long time ....that is the way that it is.
    Things will go 4-5 times faster on average, and there will be much less of a chance of an error occurring if you connect the Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the process.
    Once the sparsebundle file has been deleted, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    I've done this a number of times with no problems. Basically, I setup the file to delete overnight and check the progress in the morning. In every case, the file has been completely deleted when I check.

  • HT4847 How can I delete old backups on my iCloud so that I can just backup my latest things?

    How can i delete old backups on my iCloud so that I can jsut backup what is on my device now, and not from a year ago

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    All backups made on iCloud overwrite the old one, so you have only the latest backup with your most recent files. If you have a backup of an old device, open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the backup and delete that backup

  • Can i delete the backup on my internal drive as i have it backed up on a external drive...if so how??

    can i delete the backup on my internal drive as i have it backed up on a external drive...if so how??

    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.

  • Can we take Incremental backups without Level 0 backups

    Kindly share the procedure if any by which we can initiate an incremental backup without Level 0 backup

    Kindly share the procedure if any by which we can initiate an incremental backup without Level 0 backup
    There is NO such procedure.
    You can't 'increment' something that doesn't exist can you?
    Please increment the previous number by 1. Can you do that? Of course not because there IS no previous number.
    BY DEFINITION (see the doc) an incremental backup for any level but 0 REQUIRES a previous backup:
    an incremental backup copies only those data blocks that have changed since a previous backup
    A level 1 incremental backup can be either of the following types:
      A differential incremental backup, which backs up all blocks changed after the most recent incremental backup at level 1 or 0
      A cumulative incremental backup, which backs up all blocks changed after the most recent incremental backup at level 0
    Incremental backups are differential by default.

  • Can't resume incremental backups

    I fist finished moving and after a few weeks of sitting in a box I set up my Time Capsule to resume operation as my backup device and wireless router. Unfortunately, I must have made a mistake during setup because now my MacBook Pro is treating the TC as a completely new device, seeking to make a full backup of its entire hard drive rather than the first incremental backup since before the move. Is there some way of forcing my MBP to recognize the existing backups on the TC and pick up where it left off? I'd really appreciate some help because I've got some valuable old files trapped in those old backups. Thanks!

    I think i have an idea of why this might be happening now but don't know how to fix this. any help would be appreciated.
    so i checked this directory
    /Volumes/Time Machine Backup 2/Backups.backupdb
    and there were two directories. a new one called "computer" and the old folder with my backups "computer 2", so Time Machine must be looking at the "computer" folder. How can I force Time Machine to look at the other older folder? I tried removing the "computer" folder but it won't let me rename "computer 2" to "computer", even from the terminal using sudo and admin privileges. Is there a reason why I'm not allowed rename files on my own machine when I'm the admin?
    thanks

  • ICloud storage full on iphone, but deleted almost everything and grows larger!  iPad is fine with same iCloud acct.  can I delete iPhone backup then turn it back on without loosing iCloud data?

    Icloud storage full.  Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
    ICloud storage full.  I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing  iCloud storage.  I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet. 
    Makes no sense.  I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage  3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).

    ANSWER to my Question above:  YES.
    I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account).  I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew!  It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB. 
    I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available.  No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space. 
    [For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD.  Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger.  My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.] 
    (All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.)

  • After update to Maverics, one can't delete older backups (on older OS) throu Time Machine

    After i updated one of my three macs to Maverics, i've stumbeled apon a "problem".
    One can' delete older backups, throu time mascine, that have been backuped using an elder OS (like Snow Leopard).
    You can see its's there on the timeline, but you can't do anything with it.
    There is of course a solution, and that is to format the time capsule. And do a whole new back up.But thats where my problem is.
    As i mention, i do have thre macs. And the other two are still on Snow Leopard. But thats not the issue here.
    The issue is that i dont want to start the prossess of backing up all three mascines... Again.
    All i want to do is delete and older backup. Since i have 2 TB, use almost all space on the Time capsule, when i backup three macs. Aand thats why i need to delete older bacups manually every time on each indidual mac i have.
    So i hope anyone maybe have a easier solution, then to formate the time capsule.
    Anyone?

    Update:
    The "problem" is now solved. I went into Time machine again, and all of a sudden i could delete the old Snow Leopard backup.
    I think maybe i was to eager and didn't wait long enough. This time i waitet for the backups to "load" up, and it did.
    And then i could delete the old back up.
    I feel a bit silly, but the "problem" is now solved. And thats the most important thing, is it?

  • Can't delete TimeMachine backups from other computer

    This is a follow-up to this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19314483 wherein I describe strange TimeMachine behaviour on my MacBook Pro and that of a friend.  That has essentially been resolved now, but my current problem is I seem to be unable to get TimeMachine to delete the backups I made of his machine while trying to fix his problems.
    I Option-click on the TM menuling and choose Browse Other TimeMachine Disks.  I then choose the backups for his disk, we go into the Star Wars display and I choose a folder to (try and) delete.  The most recent attempt involved the Documents folder for an admin acccount which had hardly been used (if at all); this folder was empty.  I asked, via the Gear menu in the window, that TM delete all backups of the folder.  I then went away from my machine for over 15 minutes.  When I came back the folder was still there.
    Is there some other way to get TM to delete backups, some way of saying "Yes, really, dammit, delete this thing"??  I know that sudo rm -r in the Terminal won't do me any good.
    My ultimate aim would be to delete the folder for his machine at the top level of my Backups.backupd folder and thus get rid of all traces of these **** backups, but even just deleting what is taking up space on my disk would be a start!  I really really don't want to have to format my backup disk.

    Your best option might be to erase the Time Capsule drive and then start over with new backups for each Mac....one at a time for the first backup.
    If you decide to do this, you can erase the Time Capsule drive as follows using AirPort Utility.
    Click on the Time Capsule
    Click Edit
    Click the Disks tab
    Click Erase
    The Quick Erase option will only take a few minutes
